I got excited when Jay and Tisa mentioned to me that "Gothic" will be their wedding theme. I knew this will be something very different from the usual weddings we encounter. True enough, they didn't disappoint.

Their invite looks like a laptop which was designed by the couple (it was really nice!). Tisa doesn't want a regular looking bridal bouquet so she ended up carrying a bouquet of crystals in black and red. The cake was unlike any other wedding cakes I have seen, it had mini cakes around it with eyeballs, cut fingers, spiderwebs and a skull.

Last year, Wedding Essentials Magazine asked us to choose from their previous themes and for us to come up with our own interpretatio. So we picked the "travel theme- old world" and gathered our dream team for the photo shoot.

Eric and Gailey who are both based abroad are lucky to have a brother and maid of honor who were so hands on with the whole preparation. All they have to do is be in Manila one week before the big day since everything was well taken cared of.

Gailey marched to Lea Salonga's, "Two Words" with no less than her brother, Gerald singing her bridal march. While the rest of the mass songs were sung by world class performers, Nolyn and Lisa Cabahug.

The Madre De Dios church in Tagaytay Highlands and the reception at midlands veranda was decorated by Charro of 7Lily. Wedding cake by Penk Ching of Pastry Bin.

After nine years of being together, my good friends Mackie and Joanne made it to the altar last February 20, 2010. The church was well attended. The reception was overflowing with booze. The program was filled with laughter and tears and the karaoke band was such a hit!

Here are some beautiful photos from their pre-nup taken by Oly of Metrophoto.

It's always nice to able able to coordinate the wedding of someone you are close to. My friend Jasmine got married last Jan 29 in Magallanes Church and had a reception Le Souffle in Rockwell Club. I was her event coordinator and reader thus I had no choice but to wear a long gown while doing my job. After this, I told myself not to do this again. It was hard to run around in long gown moreso in heels.

I have always liked small, intimate gatherings. We had 94 confirmed adult guests and 10 kids. They were placed on the second floor where they were kept busy by the coloring books, crayons and other knick knacks. It was a reunion of old Citibank friends who now hold key positions in various banks in the Metro.

The venue was decorated beautifully by Jing Tanada of Palamuti, the tiffany colored cake by penk ching, gowns by raymund saul, photos by Dino Lara and music by Bernie Pasamba.

Now that Jasmine is married, there's 4 of us left in our small group still looking for Mr. Right to come along.
